It would be nice of you to join us Croc,perhaps we will see you before then when some of us decide to fly to you for a breakie

Hey Zoeter,perhaps next weekend I can fly to you and we can go together to Parys,I will then just put some fuel on the backseat and refuel when I get to VV..unless you can organise fuel for that Saturday so I can get home again

Johan..jy moet nou roer papa,jy moet ons join op al die lekka outings

Enjoy guys,looking forward to seeing you all again

Hey Raf,

I would really like to go to carletonville, but that is weather permitting of course, so we make a call on Friday! Going to miss out on Blue Max's comp though, sounds like great fun!

Thanx Max

Thanx Max

Looks like it, being month end and almost year end for me! But maybe I can squeeze it in, but I will have to wait till next week to decide!

Saturday should be good weather and then I am there like Fred bear

[Madman]

Yeah..I worked out the Nav on VFR Planner...it is 142 miles from Crosswinds via Brits and Mongena to Grobies..so it is going to be a good day of fly for me

It is not everday a softness give a man a gap !Grab it and enjoy it!!

[Madman]

Morning

We shall see at the competition guys...let us hope both of you make it there as it would be dissapointing if I am flying solo to Grobies...

What route would you guys take since you both close to one another

I am still thinking about a better route..any suggestions

[Madman]

I worked it out from Xwinds to the PTA Crater then to Groblersdal..works out to 118nm...

Last I worked out from Crosswinds to Brits,Mongena(Which I don't think exist anymore) to Grobies is 142nm...so I will go the shorter more scenic route

[Alpha]

Hi Rafiek,

I had a look at routing to springs then Rhino then Grobbies, total about 108 nm, looks like a 2 hour flight if winds are calm, so Friday afternoon will have to be departure and return Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning!

Johan,

dink jy, jy Sal n gap he om dit te maak?
